Pogba, who joined Manchester United in a world-record transfer from Juventus last summer, gave away the penalty which led to James Milner scoring in his side's 1-1 stalemate in the Premier League.

Ibrahimovic knows all about dealing with pressure, having played for a number of the world's greatest clubs including Juventus, Milan, Barcelona and now United in what has been a stunning career.

The striker insists non-stop pressure comes with playing at the top but believes Pogba, like himself, likes that aspect of the game and has backed him to deal with it.

He said: “Pressure is something I enjoy. I don’t know Paul personally to be able to answer that for him. But I think he likes it also because, without pressure, we would not be on our toes at the top level.
